Our day care services are all about getting out, socialising and improving mental and physical health.

For older people, including those with dementia, the opportunity to socialise in a safe and supportive environment is hugely beneficial. Every day, we see the difference these outings and activities make to people’s mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.

We take great care to get to know the people who use our services, and plan activities so they match each individual’s interests, knowledge, experiences and skills. Our highly skilled staff have a wealth of experience in this area – but we’re always open to new ideas!

Day care can also provide a break for family members and carers. We know how important it is to know your loved one is in safe hands and having a good time, so we’re always happy to meet and talk to family members about our services.

We also offer creative arts groups called Heart for Art.
